Explanation:

1. Who won the 1936 Election? - Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) won the 1936 U.S. presidential - election in a landslide.
2. Limitations of the New Deal for different groups:

• Women: The New Deal programs often focused on male - dominated industries. Women faced discrimination in employment and relief programs, and issues specific to women such as equal pay and childcare were not adequately addressed.
• African Americans: Despite some gains, African Americans still faced significant discrimination. Many New Deal programs were administered locally, and in the South, discriminatory practices meant that African Americans received less aid and employment opportunities. Segregation was still prevalent in many aspects of the New Deal - related activities.
• Father Coughlin: A Catholic priest, he initially supported FDR but later turned against the New Deal. He was critical of what he saw as the New Deal's pro - banking and anti - working - class elements. He also promoted anti - Semitic views and advocated for a more radical economic reform that he believed the New Deal did not provide.
• Huey Long: He thought the New Deal did not go far enough in redistributing wealth. Long proposed a "Share Our Wealth" program that would have imposed high taxes on the wealthy and provided every American family with a minimum income, a home, and other benefits. He saw the New Deal as too moderate in its approach to tackling economic inequality.

1. Regarding the cartoon: Without seeing the actual cartoon, in general, if the cartoon shows positive imagery such as people being helped, economic recovery, or symbols of progress associated with the New Deal, it may be supporting it. If it shows negative imagery like government over - reach, waste, or people still suffering despite the New Deal, it may be against it. Analyze visual elements like the expressions of the characters, the setting, and any text or symbols in the cartoon to make a determination.
